Stellakis is the chief executive officer and chairman of NBGI Private Equity and is currently in negotiations to remain with the firm after the deal. He’s also the man who earned a bonus of $3.8m in 2009 when the National bank of Greece received its first bailout, owns a $14.2m Belgravia townhouse not far from Buckingham Palace gardens, properties in New York and the South of France, continues to earn 60% more than the CEO of the bank itself and has a Bentley and two Porches. Very flashy, very pre-crisis ‘banker’. Will Deutsche and Goldman stick with him?

Separately, State Street is facing the quandary of how to sell entry level roles to high calibre graduates when most of the job has been automated and they’re struggling to define what exactly they’ll be doing. Now, job descriptions have been replaced with “role charters” and abstract concepts like problem solving and collaboration are emphasised over hard skills.

Kathy Horgan, who oversees talent management at the firm, said: “Tasks are changing more rapidly than they ever have in the past. The career path is changing as we speak.”
